Welfare state & family

Raise the retirement age to 67

No Rather no Rather yes Yes
Comment

I'm quite in favor of this, to ensure the long-term viability of this insurance, and to take into account the increase in life expectancy, and the fact that people often enter working life later. However, this does not apply to all professional activities, and I believe in greater flexibility.

J'y suis plutôt favorable pour assurer à long terme la pérennisation de cette assurance, et pour tenir compte de l'augmentation de l'espérance de vie, et de l'entrée dans la vie active souvent plus tardive. Cela ne s'applique toutefois pas à toutes les activités professionnelles et je crois surtout à plus de flexibilité.

Health insurance premiums

No Rather no Rather yes Yes
Comment

In Geneva, the state already makes a major contribution to covering premiums. In other cantons, a greater contribution may be needed to help those most in need.

A Genève l'état contribue déjà grandement à la couverture des primes. Il est possible que dans d'autres cantons une participation plus importante soit nécessaire pour aider ceux qui en ont le plus besoin.

Pensions for married couples

No Rather no Rather yes Yes

Reduce LPP pensions

No Rather no Rather yes Yes
Comment

Ideally, the conversion rate should be adjusted in line with interest rates. A conversion rate that is too high in relation to what pension funds can reasonably earn each year over the long term is detrimental to future generations. It is therefore essential to set a conversion rate that is as realistic as possible, so as to ensure the best possible retirement for people of pensionable age, while at the same time not adversely affecting the situation of future generations.

Il faudrait idéalement que le taux de conversion s'adapte en fonction des taux d'intérêt. Un taux de conversion trop élevé par rapport à ce que les fonds de pension peuvent gagner raisonnablement sur le long terme chaque année, péjore les générations futures. Il faut donc réussir à déterminer un taux de conversion aussi réaliste que possible pour permettre à la fois la meilleure retraite possible aux personnes en âge d'en bénéficier et ne pas péjorer la situation des générations suivantes.

Extend parental leave

No Rather no Rather yes Yes
Comment

Parental leave to be shared by both parents

Further encourage the construction of social housing

Health

No Rather no Rather yes Yes

Introduce a tax on sugary foods

No Rather no Rather yes Yes

Contribution to healthcare costs

No Rather no Rather yes Yes
Comment

Some people do not have the means to contribute more, and they should be helped. For others, I don't think it's unreasonable to consider that everyone should be able to contribute more than CHF 300 in the event of a health problem, if the quid pro quo is to pay less in premiums each year.

Certaines personnes n'ont pas les moyens d'y contribuer plus et ils doivent être aidés. Pour les autres il ne me semble pas déraisonnable de considérer que chacun peut consacrer en cas de problème de santé, plus de CHF 300 pour y faire face, si la contrepartie est de payer moins de prime chaque année.

Limit the powers of the Federal Council in the event of a pandemic

No Rather no Rather yes Yes
Comment

On the whole, the Confederation has managed the pandemic rather well. Of course, there's always room for improvement, but on the whole the system has worked well, and the restrictions decided on have been confirmed by the population.

Dans l'ensemble la Confédération a plutôt bien géré la pandémie. Il y a évidemment toujours la possibilité de s'améliorer, mais le système a dans l'ensemble bien fonctionné et les restrictions décidées ont été confirmées par la population.

Federal competence for national hospital planning

No Rather no Rather yes Yes

Education

Inclusive schooling

No Rather no Rather yes Yes
Comment

This requires adequate support resources, which are often lacking. In any case, the number of children in difficulty per class should be limited to avoid a race to the bottom.

Cela demande des moyens d'accompagnement adéquats qui manquent le plus souvent. Il faudrait en tous cas limiter le nombre d'enfants en difficulté par classe pour éviter tout nivellement par le bas.

Tighten the requirements for obtaining a high school diploma

No Rather no Rather yes Yes

Equal opportunities in education

No Rather no Rather yes Yes

Asylum procedures outside Europe

No Rather no Rather yes Yes

Voting rights for foreigners

No Rather no Rather yes Yes

Society & ethics

Legalize cannabis use

No Rather no Rather yes Yes
Comment

I'm quite in favor of it, but we need to protect young people and ensure that Switzerland doesn't become a place of drug tourism, as has happened elsewhere.

J'y suis plutôt favorable, mais il faut protéger les jeunes et assurer que la Suisse ne devienne pas un lieu de tourisme de la drogue, comme cela a pu arriver ailleurs.

No Rather no Rather yes Yes

Make housing construction regulations more flexible

No Rather no Rather yes Yes

Wage equality between women and men

No Rather no Rather yes Yes
Comment

Labor law controls are often highly bureaucratic. It's better to improve conditions to achieve greater equality.

Les contrôles en matière de droit du travail sont souvent très bureaucratiques. Il vaut mieux améliorer les conditions pour tendre à plus d'égalité.

Energy & transport

Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway

No Rather no Rather yes Yes

Ban new registrations of combustion engine vehicles from 2035

No Rather no Rather yes Yes
Comment

I believe that individual mobility will continue, but will be transformed. I prefer to achieve carbon neutrality through innovation, and in particular by switching to electric vehicles, rather than by imposing constraints on the population. Switzerland must make its mark in renewable energies and innovation, and seize this challenge as an opportunity rather than a constraint.

Je pense que la mobilité individuelle va se poursuivre, mais se transformer. Je préfère tendre à la neutralité carbone par l'innovation et notamment par le passage à l'électrique, que par des contraintes imposées à la population. La Suisse doit se profiler dans les énergies renouvelables et l'innovation et saisir ce défi comme une opportunité, plutôt que comme une contrainte.

Achieve climate targets through incentives

Comment

Make the rules for renewable energy less strict

No Rather no Rather yes Yes

Authorize the construction of new nuclear power plants

No Rather no Rather yes Yes
Comment

I'm not opposed to it on principle. On the other hand, I believe that Switzerland stands to gain a great deal by investing heavily in renewable energies, making the country not only a model, but also a major economic pole in this field.

Je n'y suis pas opposé par principe. Je pense en revanche que la Suisse aurait tout à gagner à miser à fond sur le renouvelable, en investissant massivement pour faire du pays, non seulement un modèle, mais aussi un pôle économique majeur en la matière.

Ensure a comprehensive range of public services

No Rather no Rather yes Yes
Comment

This is part of Switzerland's DNA and at the heart of federalism, but it's obviously not possible to have exactly the same services in densely populated areas as in areas that are not.

Cela fait partie de l'ADN de la Suisse et est au cœur du fédéralisme, mais il n'y a évidemment pas la possibilité d'avoir exactement les mêmes services dans des zones densément peuplées et dans des zones qui ne le sont pas.

Introduce progressive electricity tariffs

No Rather no Rather yes Yes

Nature conservation

Making provisions for the protection of large predators more flexible

No Rather no Rather yes Yes
Comment

I think we currently have a relatively good balance in this area, so I don't think it's necessary to relax these rules, or tighten them for that matter.

Je pense que nous avons actuellement un relativement bon équilibre en la matière, et il ne me semble donc pas nécessaire d'assouplir ces règles, ni de les renforcer d'ailleurs.

Direct payments for farms

No Rather no Rather yes Yes

Introduction of stricter rules on the protection of farm animals

No Rather no Rather yes Yes

National territory available for biodiversity conservation

No Rather no Rather yes Yes

Ban on single-use plastics

No Rather no Rather yes Yes
Comment

I'm in favor of replacing single-use plastics wherever possible, but I prefer incentives to bans, especially as in some cases the alternatives are no better.

Je suis favorable au remplacement partout ou cela est possible des plastiques à usage unique, mais je préfère l'incitation à l'interdiction, surtout que dans certains cas, les solutions de remplacement ne sont pas meilleures.

Security measures taken by the state

1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Comment

Unfortunately, experience shows that the state can make mistakes. I'm in favor of increased security, but not of giving the State a blank check.

Malheureusement l'expérience montre que l'Etat peut se tromper. Je suis favorable à une sécurité accrue, mais pas à donner un blanc-seing à l'Etat.

Free market economy

Compensate for differences in income and wealth

1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Comment

In my view, the State must have the means to help the most disadvantaged. On the other hand, it's not up to the State to redistribute, but to ensure that those who can't cope are properly supported.

Il est pour moi nécessaire que l'Etat ait les moyens d'aider les plus défavorisés. En revanche il n'appartient pas à l'Etat de faire de la redistribution, mais de s'assurer que ceux qui n'arrivent pas à faire face soient correctement accompagnés.

Parent stays at home full time

1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Comment

I think everyone should organize their lives as they see fit, but I don't think it's necessary for a child's development that one parent stay at home to look after them.

Je pense que chacun doit s'organiser comme il le souhaite, mais je ne crois pas qu'il soit nécessaire au bon développement d'un enfant que l'un de ses parents reste à la maison pour s'occuper de lui.

Digitization offers more opportunities than risks

1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Comment

I believe that digitization offers opportunities in terms of access to information, the development of new and exciting professional activities and the facilitation of everyday life, but that the extraordinarily rapid upheavals in this area will jeopardize certain professions and create risks, particularly in terms of privacy. We therefore need to work to improve career transition opportunities and rethink the protection of our private sphere.

Je pense que la numérisation offre des opportunités par l'accès à l'information, le développement d'activités professionnelles nouvelles et passionnantes ou la facilitation du quotidien, mais que les bouleversements extraordinairement rapides en la matière vont mettre en danger certaines professions et créent des risques notamment en terme de respect de la vie privée. Il faut donc travailler pour améliorer les possibilités de reconversion et repenser la protection de notre sphère privée.

Punish criminals

1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Comment

Punishment is necessary and plays a dual role in the reintegration process, in that it raises awareness and calms society by avoiding opening the door to revenge. On the other hand, reintegration is just as important in preventing criminals from reoffending once they're out of prison.

La punition est nécessaire et participe au processus de réintégration doublement en ce sens qu'elle permet une prise de conscience et apaise la société en évitant d'ouvrir la porte à la vengeance. En revanche la réintégration est aussi importante pour éviter que les criminels ne récidivent une fois sortis de prison.

Stronger environmental protection

1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Comment

I don't see an opposition between economic growth and environmental protection. Innovation is the key to reconciling the two.

Je ne vois pas une opposition entre croissance économique et protection de l'environnement. Il faut arriver par l'innovation à concilier les deux.
